| 2/5/03 ****DIMA = MUSICIAN???**** Hehe, hey, if all goes well, I should be playing at the Vassar AULA Thursday, Feb 6th at 8pm or so.... Haven't played for an audience since June of 2001, and never by myself.... oh boy, it shall be just me and Eva.... wish me luck, anyone who gives a damn, and we'll see how it goes.... If anyone's wondering, the songs are gonna be "Endgame" and "Tissues"... although nothing's final yet. |
| 2/7/03 AULA SHOWCASE PERFORMANCE Well the AULA show thing went rather well.... kinda comical on my part cause about midway through "Tissues", the mic started to slowly slide down and eventually, I hopped off the chair and bean playing on my knees (much to the delight of the spectators, it seems). I hear it wasn't that bad save for the technical difficulties and got some congrats from people afterwards... So all in all, it was an ok experience... Lately I've been up in work with 3 papers looming over me to be finished by next week, so I doubt there will be too many website additions for this duration. =( |
| 2/10/03 "THE SIMPSONS" & "MARRIED WITH CHILDREN"!! Man oh man, do those two shows get me excited! (and you woulda known that too, if you actually looked on my Dima page) Anyway, this coming Sunday at 7:30 on FOX: 3 straight Simpsons episodes including the all new 300th one... and then at 9:00, there's a special "reunion" of the "Married..." show!! Hey what more could a guy ask for... well, to finish a bunch of papers so I get time to watch these... =P so I'm getting down to business. And for the rest of you, don't fucking miss it!!! |
| 2/19/03 JERK PRIEST, DENTIST & BLIZZARD! (With some mention of the Simpsons and Vassar.) I bet you wanna know how the wedding thing went. What's that? No? Then don't read.... =) So anyway, the wedding went well enough.... although this Russian Orthodox shit was annoying.... the priest/father/reverend/whatever that I remembered back from when I was 11 is still an asshole... Was basically rude all the way, then made us stand for 30 minutes straight as he did the whole ceremony.... grrrr.... for half a fucking hour!! And what's with the no clapping allowed in a church... after a wedding? >=(..... now I respect old customs, but some things simply don't make sense.... the dinosaurs died out, certainly something like this can too.... Afterwards, there was this catered reception at this Russian Astoria place in Brooklyn..... quite fun, though the food wasn't anything too special..... more or less, it was boring, but it must've been expensive.... it suffices to say that I didn't catch the garter belt thing.... I wasn't the tallest one there ;) So Monday, bigass blizzard hits.... worst one since '96 and man do I remember that one.... my Russian class was cancelled and so was the dentist appointment. Oh phooey! But sledding at Vassar yesterday was awesome! Man I'm gonna hopefully do some more today before the Cog Sci dinner..... Also, the Simpsons and Married with Children shows were great... was one fun night of television. I finished my "Essay Olympics" so I should be relatively free for the next few days.... whew..... And apparently, Vassar was mentioned on one of the Simpsons episodes.... she was in the form of a long-haired blonde hippie girl with bushy armpit hair..... ??? |
| 2/24/03 ERRAND OLYMPICS 2003 Oh man oh man, am I a busy man.... but enough of my Mr. Rogers impression, here's the real deal: I've got a heap of stuff to do today... thankfull, no real homeowork.... First off, haircut time.... nothing too short, just to even out what I mangled last month with my wonderful self-shearing skills.... it needs to be straight so I can start growing it out long again.... it's been almost a year <=) and everyone seems to miss it (including me).... so here's hoping. Also, because my car's speakers are falling apart, gotta get some replacement parts. Gotta buy a birthday present, call Dell tech support, and a halndful of other trivial tasks.... but it makes stuff interesting. Today is another Russian Tea Night.... cool...... as well as a dorm birthday party.... yum yum. |
| Monday, 03/03/03 1:31 AM GOOD THINGS COME IN 3s... Live it up people. Today is the only day in your life when you will get to write 03/03/03 on your papers/documents/whatever... I guess that doesn't mean anything, but I believe it's still fun to think about. Anyhow, speaking of threes, three cool people I've spent the weekend with are Monica, Marc, and Gina... But before I tell about that, first I'll mention Andrew, who turned 19 on Thursday! The party was on Friday... he had quality-ass salmon caviar and it was some good shit indeed. Then people kinda started coming in from everywhere and the room filled up with a few different kinds of smoke and that's when I left. Saw the "trio" a little bit, then went home. And even before that, we spent an hour down by the river hanging round a playground... chasing kitties.... then went to my house where everyone got introduce to Katya.... and she pretty much talked to everyone, showed off her art skills, then gifted lanyards to each guest. (I think Marc has started using his for his Vassar ID!) Then Saturday was great: after poetry, we got to eat and then flocked to Rocky where we first played a game or two of Murder on the 1st floor and then moved upstairs to floors 3 and 4.... Hell, I didn't even know there was a 4th floor in the building.... but apparently so, and at night, it's quite a creepy floor indeed. Darkness looms everywhere... crawlspaces, tiny rooms, claustrophobic bathrooms.... its great. In some hallways, you can stand 4 feet in front of a person and they won't see you.... That's how Gina ended up stabbing me in the throat with her finger. Anyway, after Murder, we played some Manhunt... which was also pretty fun... and finally, best of all: Pictionary in Rocky 300! Three games of that = about 2 hours of hilarity.... How does one try to draw the word "evolution" and not have it come out to look like "time to die" or "it's death o'clock"??? =) Or how to draw "friendship" and not have it look like "love boat"?? Uh, I fell off a chair and scraped the hell out of my back.... owwchies.... Now I sit here at 1:42 AM writing this.... Maybe that's enough for now... It's just that it was one of most fun times I've recently had. ~Dima P.S.: I leave you all with a poem I wrote Saturday... "Booger" This mucus in my nostril, A yellow, jelly mass Upon a sneeze Shoots out my nose Like bullets through a glass Or oozing, pouring out like water Dripping from a sink Pops in bubbles Like carbon gas In your cola drink Then melts like salted slug You watch the brainless critter die Then shrivel up and pass away A booger petrified. |
